Tatsuro Yamashita - Melodies
Tatsuro Yamashita - Melodies
Japan Original Pressing.
A landmark 1983 Tatsuro Yamashita album — sophisticated soul, shimmering pop and deep urban grooves marking the beginning of his Moon Records era.
The first album of Tatsuro Yamashita’s Moon Records era, Melodies marked a clear shift from his RCA / AIR years into a more direct, polished and deeply personal pop sound.
“Koukiatsu Girl” bursts with bright summer energy, “Night-Fly” and “Blue Midnight” sink into sophisticated late-night soul, while the hypnotic “Merry-Go-Round” delivers one of the album’s deepest grooves. And of course, “Christmas Eve” would go on to become one of the most enduring songs in Japanese pop history.
Elegant, soulful and beautifully crafted — a defining chapter in Tatsuro’s catalog.
